New Canucks Jerseys - Update

As I am seeing a large number of visits from visitors looking for info regarding the forthcoming new Canucks jerseys, I am posting info I found on the Canucks’ discussion forum regarding the status:

• TEAM1040 reports that the new jerseys are IN TOWN
  • The Canucks have allready had a closed door photoshoot with the new jerseys/player(s)
  • Full Press Conference in “Late August” before training camp
    
• TEAM 1040 reports that the jerseys are expected to be “vintage colours”
• The Canucks spent over $1,000,000 on the design
  
• The jersey may or may not incorporate a new logo
• Canucks executives have said that the Orca logo will remain
• The new jerseys will have a tighter fit than previous versions

Update: Taking a closer look at the Orca logo on the alleged leaked version reveals some interesting changes that make it more believable.

• The Orca’s mouth/teeth are now outlined with an additional line not present in the old logo
• The orca’s nose now extends further to accomodate the extra line
• The Orca’s fin has become slightly large/changed shape
• The ice shards (especially the top one) appear to slightly different aswell

Here is an ultra-high res version of the leaked logo.

And here is an image of the jersey which has been edited so it looks complete, and the new standard NHL neckline has been added:
